Dutch mills on the air and visiting the Goliath

There is the national mills day this weekend. This same weekend enthousiastic radio amateurs are activating some of these mills in the "Mills on the air" event. A good radiofriend PD7BZ Bernard is activating the dutch mill "De Eendracht" in Gieterveen together with PD5JFK Jelle since 2009. This year active as PD13MILL. At this same weekend there is a similar event in the UK. Always nice to work them especially if you like mills. Well, the closest mill here "De Goliath"in de Eemshaven is appearing on my QSL card. We visited it today. No radio activities, might do that in the future. The weather was not to good but we enjoyed the cup of coffee and the explanation about this watermill.
